Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On December 6, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors approved amendments to the Company’s Bylaws that implement a system of majority voting for the election of directors in elections that are not contested. The Board also adopted amendments to the Corporate Governance Guidelines to implement a director resignation policy. In connection with the resignation policy, each member of the Board is expected to submit an irrevocable, conditional resignation to be effective if such director fails to receive a majority of the votes cast in his or her election at the applicable meeting of the Company’s stockholders and if the Board accepts such resignation. The Board has discretion whether to accept or reject the resignations.

The Board of Directors also adopted amendments to the bylaws to clarify the mechanics for the proper issuance and transfer of uncertificated shares.

The Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, including the amendments described above, are included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein. The Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, as amended, are available on the Company’s website.
